I'm twenty-something hours in. It's an okay game, even with the shortcomings I had a good time playing it (so far).
I certainly wouldn't put it on the top of my list, but then as far as RE5 is concerned the Resident Evil series is over for me (meaning I probably won't play their next game).
At least XIII still feels like an RPG, whereas in RE5 the survival horror goes out the window and it becomes a standard (and boring) action/shooter game (although I guess that if linearity != RPG then XIII failed hard too, but I don't consider it to be the case since it's not a unique feature and there are plenty of JRPGs that are painfully linear).
